Why Are my Legs So Shiny?

Ok, well here's the scoop. I'm a guy and I have really shiny legs, and some what shiny arms. When I was younger I barely put on lotion and had dry skin a good amount of the time too. If I look really closely at the skin on my legs and arms it's like there's little sections of skin that are not cracked/wrinkled but there's a lot of little lines, kinda like tectonic plates. Idk lol, but uhm I put lotion on after my shower but it just makes it shinier. The lotion I use it Vaseline Cocoa er Deep Conditioning. Oh and I'm mixed with 1/2 black, 1/4 white, and 1/4 puerto rican and my skin tone is like a light brownish caramel color. Idk if that will help but yeah it's really noticable when I wear shorts so yeah is there any way I can get rid of the shinyness of my legs haha?
